A Polynomial Approximation for Arbitrary Functions
Michael A. Cohen, Can Ozan Tan
We describe an expansion of Legendre polynomials, analogous to the Taylor expansion, to approximate arbitrary functions. We show that the polynomial coefficients in Legendre expans…
Statistical Predictive Models in Ecology: Comparison of Performances and Assessment of Applicability
Can Ozan Tan, Uygar Ozesmi, Meryem Beklioglu +2
Ecological systems are governed by complex interactions which are mainly nonlinear. In order to capture this complexity and nonlinearity, statistical models recently gained popular…
Methodological Issues in Building, Training, and Testing Artificial Neural Networks
Stacy L. Ozesmi, Uygar Ozesmi, Can Ozan Tan
We review the use of artificial neural networks, particularly the feedforward multilayer perceptron with back-propagation for training (MLP), in ecological modelling. Overtraining…
Generalizability of Artificial Neural Network Models in Ecological Applications: Predicting Nest Occurrence and Breeding Success of the Red-winged Blackbird Agelaius phoeniceus
Uygar Ozesmi, Can Ozan Tan, Stacy L. Ozesmi +1
Separate artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed from data in two geographical regions and years apart for a marsh-nesting bird, the red-winged blackbird Agelaius pho…
A Cognitive Model of an Epistemic Community: Mapping the Dynamics of Shallow Lake Ecosystems
Can O. Tan, Uygar Ozesmi
We used fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to develop a generic shallow lake ecosystem model by augmenting the individual cognitive maps drawn by 8 scientists working in the area of sha…
